WHAT CONDITIONS CAN
abdominal therapy
HELP WITH?
Last month I introduced the wonderful Heather Wilde, who has been settling into her new role as our Patient Care Coordinator + has completely transitioned into massage therapy with Uprise Pelvic Health! [We're in for a real treat having her join our crew!] One of the therapies she offers is called Maya Abdominal Therapy, which is an external, gentle manipulation that helps increase circulation + reposition internal organs of the digestive + reproductive system.
So, what conditions can this type of therapy help treat? Let's highlight a few…
✨ Abdominal Surgery Recovery [including
hysterectomies]:
Abdominal therapy improves circulation in and around the area of the scar and allows for proper flow of the lymph, which often becomes blocked after surgery, resulting in swelling, burning and deep aching pains in the pelvis. By using abdominal therapy on a regular basis, scar tissue will be prevented from forming in the pelvis after surgery. Ligaments and other remaining organs are also benefited from improving circulatory flow to the pelvis.
✨ Improved Uterine Health:
This external massage gently lifts and guides the uterus into its optimal position in the lower pelvis. The uterus is held in position by over 10 ligaments. Ligaments, when stressed or strained, cause the uterus to become mal-positioned. This can cause women to experience a multitude of symptoms. Some symptoms of a displaced uterus may include: painful intercourse, recurrent vaginal infections, painful or irregular periods, painful or irregular ovulation, dark or brown blood at the onset and at the end of menstruation, headache or migraine with period, more serious imbalances including: Endometriosis, Uterine Fibroids and Uterine Polyps.
✨ Aids In Digestion:
Many anxieties and emotional stressors are stored in our body's tissues and organs. Very commonly those stressors are stored in the organs of the digestive system. Those so-called "butterflies in your stomach" can lead to constipation, indigestion, heartburn, and gastritis. In extreme cases, these stressors may be precursors to more serious conditions including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Gastro Esophageal Reflux (GERD), and Crohn's Disease. Over time, digestive distress can cause the small intestine and colon to twist and kink resulting in blockages in the flow of peristalsis. The surrounding fascia creates adhesions that reorient the positions of organs, impede proper blood flow and enzyme secretion, and cause pain. Maya Abdominal Therapy helps to break down fascial adhesions and scar tissue and removes the blockages in the digestive tract. Often there is a dramatic improvement after just one session when combined with proper diet and self-care.
